Michael Marbach

I grew up hunting the hill country and south Texas plains. Because of these experiences I want to share my passion. As the Executive Director of the Christian Outdoor Alliance I helped implement a summer camp program for children to learn about the outdoors. We also host over 30 parent / child youth hunts each year on the ranches that we outfit. We also manage and operate properties for commercial hunting, fishing, camping, photography, and retreats. This has allowed us to open up opportunities for children and adults that might not have the opportunity to see the wonders of God's creation. Each year we host hundreds of individuals on our outfitted hunts. The money earned from these events goes right back into our program so that we can take more kids out on a Texas adventure. As the founder of the non-profit organization Christian Outdoor Alliance our goal is to teach and share the resources that have been entrusted to us so that the future of our outdoors heritage can be passed on for many generations to come.

I grew up hunting with my father and grandfather. We had a family farm in Comal County and hunting leases in South Texas. Hunting and fishing were weekly activities for me as a child and young adult. The outdoors stuck with me and I have spent my entire adult life teaching others. I felt the outdoors and the relationships built from these experiences were powerful and I wanted to share that with as many folks as possible.

Thoughts to Share:

My father went to the first ever meeting for the Texas Trophy Hunters Hotline. From that point forward I read from cover to cover the Journal. It has been a part of my entire life and it is an honor and privilege to serve as a Pro Staffer for TTHA.
